What Customers Are Saying
Customers overwhelmingly praise this jigsaw for exceptional cutting power, smooth low-vibration operation, and intuitive design. Reviewers highlight its ability to slice through thick walnut, plywood, shingles, and granite with precision and ease, with many noting perfectly straight cuts and no blade wandering. The quick-change blade system is frequently called a game-changer, eliminating frustration with tool fumbling. Users emphasize the balanced weight, comfortable grip, and fatigue-free extended use. Build quality is described as rugged and solid, with several owners reporting 20-plus years of reliable daily use. A few mention minor preferences around dust management or lighting, but these rarely diminish overall satisfaction. Most consider it a lasting investment.

Would RecommendThis is hands down the most reliable, accurate jigsaw made. I have been using Bosch Jigsaws professionally since 1993. I have never had a saw break or fail. I upgrade periodically just to keep saws available to my crew.

RUGGED, HEFTY, RELIABLE
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased the Bosch JS470E about 5 years ago because a friend convinced me it was the best jigsaw on the market. And I agree! It is strong and at 7 amps, it never bogs down. I look for ruggedness and reliability in the power tools I buy, and this jigsaw has never let me down. Easy to change the blades, and to tilt the angle of the table bed. Definitely recommend!

T-shank blade format an unwelcome surprise
Would Not RecommendThe requirement for T-shank blades is a VERY unwelcome--and expensive--surprise. I only use my saw intermittently, but was very happy until the blade that came with it wore out. Now I find out that my lifetime supply of universal jigsaw blades is so much scrap metal. This sort of format change needs to be marked very clearly on the box that the product comes in, with a warning that it will not accept universal shank blades. #FAIL.

Great Saw!
Would RecommendThis is a great jigsaw and the variable speed is terrific. It has great features, except it needs to have a light so you can see where you are sawing. Other than that it's great!
This is a very nice jigsaw
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This replaced an older jigsaw that I always dreaded using. I wish I had bought this sooner. It is powerful and smooth - so easy to control. I love the quick release Bosch jigsaw blade system.
